i would think he posted it as a way to get in a dig at the Otters fans.

with the latest rumblings on twitter and bassin's remarks about selling just a hunch about them not staying. also no local offers that we know of yet.

I'll see it when I believe it, though Bassin hasn't really confirmed or denied that the team would stay after next year. I'm sure there's local interest, but would they really want to buy the team if Bassin still has a say in business and hockey moves after a sale? I know I wouldn't after looking at their record since 2002.

If this is really the last year of the Otters, I wouldn't mind. I hear that there are other teams itching to come here. If there's a hockey team next year in Erie without Sherry, Erie's a winner.
